  i don't have the hanging down parts to do it (and my wife would probably divorce me), but i just got my beevis and butthead shirts from walmart.

  i bought two with beevis doing his alter ego thing as cornholio.

  she told me not to even wear them outside of the house.. https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=cornholio.

  Black Lives Matter—Do You Agree With Their Philosophy?

  i agree with people who say all lives matter.

  i think blm is a racist group.

  if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..

  @wisdomfrombelow, very well said.

  Reminds me of one sister telling me constantly that if I didn't want to let my dog sleep in bed with me, then that meant that I don't like dogs. Just because I SAID I love dogs, and put water out for HER dog on a hot day when she neglected that little detail, didn't mean anything. The overriding factor was allowing dogs to lay right next to me.

  Who made her the authority with the right to decide which actions had what meaning? Which is what I wonder about all varieties of social movements.

  Who gives individuals the authority to decide and proclaim who is a racist and who isn't, based on nothing but their own preferred assumptions. One woman told me I have no right to speak, because I have never been abused just because of the color of my skin. Well how does she know that? And why would any assumption of hers be a valid reason to deny my right to speak? She is just going to decide that I'm a racist.

  What would PROVE me to be a racist?

  cities across america have been pillaged and destroyed these last few days.

  a white policeman has been charged with murder of a black man.

  protests have been organized across major us cities and horrible riots have occurred.

  The riots started in Los Angeles 25 years ago this week - what a wild coincidence. The cops who beat the snot out of Rodney King were acquitted and all hell broke loose, just the same kind of thing as what's going on now.

  I'm curious - were any improvements or changes made in the policing methods as a result of the chaos and mayhem?

  I wrote to an editor of one of the L.A. newspapers and asked him to give me some direction of how to research the subject. I'm curious to see if anything got any better in their city; if they learned the lessons from wholesale destruction by outraged justice-seekers. Or was it just a useless horror.

  as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

  but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

  of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.

  all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.

  people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

  It's Christmas after Christmas for wholesalers and retailers. But the news is not broadcasting the jolly dollar intake the way they do in December.

  Who else does the disaster benefit? I'm trying to follow the money.

  Name one POSITIVE thing you took from your experience as a Witness

  i was thinking about this at work the other day, and realized the one positive thing i can truly credit the jws with: .

  i have no fear of public speaking.

  i was a shy kid, fat, clumsy, with crooked glasses and worse teeth, who wore hand-me-downs in one of the wealthiest counties in all of america, who sat still while classmates got up to salute the flag or recite the pledge of allegiance.

  Learned that family has to be a priority over anything else.

  How to deal with confrontations instead of avoiding them at all costs, and when to just say NO without offering any explanations.

  "the 20th century ended on 31st of december 2000 at 23:59:59 +1 second so technically, yes, the next decade according to that would begin next year.

  Not training speakers/teachers any more?

  by eyeslice2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not having attended any meetings since about 2001, for reasons of safety (sounds a bit dramatic but i don't like my wife being out on her own late at night where we live now), i have started accompanying her to the mid-week meeting.. when i was young, the ministry school and service meeting were central to training brothers to take the lead.

  you were assigned instruction talks, then if you cut it, you moved pretty rapidly to public talks - a full 55 mins at the time.

  i was just 18 years old when i gave my first public talk and this was a first step to moving rapidly through the ranks.

  The sisters walk a fine line between getting in trouble for not answering enough, or at all, and getting in trouble for answering too much. There were tons of sisters that i remember, who would put their hand up once or twice in a meeting, to give one comment and then that was IT.

  we had our first family thanksgiving gathering this last thursday with our youngest sons family.

  before we started to eat we went around the table saying what we were thankful for.

  what our granddaughter had to say brought tears to our eyes.
